I make chili a lot, and the kids like it, so I'm going to post my recipe so that they can always find it when needed! I'll have to dig up one of Mom's chili recipes and give it a go so I can post a comparison!
The Recipe is called Pedernales River Chili by Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson! Yes, the president's chili!
4 lb. chili meat - I use hamburger or ground turkey. And however much you want - 4lbs is a lot unless you're making a huge vat of chili. (and then I would increase all the other ingredients by .5 - 1. You can just use this recipe as a start and do as you please...)
1 onion chopped
2 garlic cloves chopped.
Cook all of this together til the meat is done and drain the fat.
Then stir in
2 tsp ground oregano
4 tsp cumin
6 tsp chili powder,
2 large cans crushed or diced or whole or whatever kind of tomatoes you like - I go with crushed
3 cans beans - I use kidney and white, and even sometimes pinto - 1 can of each is fun. I love at least one can of big white (cannelini) beans for variety
2 Cups hot water
salt and pepper to taste
and a couple of dashes of hot sauce if you like it spicy.
Makes me long for football.
